The 400th anniversary year of William Byrd's death gets off to a roaring start with this collection of mostly Catholic choral music from the small (mixed-gender, adult) choir Stile Antico. This justly celebrated group works without a conductor and is recognized for its flexible and sensitive treatment of texts, even in one as well-worn as that of the Catholic mass. Here, sample the "Qui propter nos homines" section from Credo of the Mass for Four Voices, which runs all the way through Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. There are many performances of this Byrd masterpiece, but few that convey so much of the sense of awe and reverence with which Byrd infused these words. The Mass is broken up, as would have occurred in Byrd's time, with motets appropriate to the various parts of the mass. None of these is particularly rare, but the clarity and warmth of Stile Antico's music-making here is consistently remarkable. There are a few Anglican English pieces, and for listeners who do not speak Latin, these will confirm the group's gifts in clear text articulation. A superb job all around on a release that could serve any listener well as an introduction to Byrd's sacred music and made classical best-seller charts in early 2023.

Album review
The 400th anniversary year of William Byrd's death gets off to a roaring start with this collection of mostly Catholic choral music from the small (mixed-gender, adult) choir Stile Antico. This justly celebrated group works without a conductor and is recognized for its flexible and sensitive treatment of texts, even in one as well-worn as that of the Catholic mass. Here, sample the "Qui propter nos homines" section from Credo of the Mass for Four Voices, which runs all the way through Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. There are many performances of this Byrd masterpiece, but few that convey so much of the sense of awe and reverence with which Byrd infused these words. The Mass is broken up, as would have occurred in Byrd's time, with motets appropriate to the various parts of the mass. None of these is particularly rare, but the clarity and warmth of Stile Antico's music-making here is consistently remarkable. There are a few Anglican English pieces, and for listeners who do not speak Latin, these will confirm the group's gifts in clear text articulation. A superb job all around on a release that could serve any listener well as an introduction to Byrd's sacred music and made classical best-seller charts in early 2023.
